Introduction to the Invention Exhibition: IWIS is one of Poland's largest and Europe's largest international events related to innovation and invention. The previous edition of IWIS had representatives from Asian, African, American, and European countries, including Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Egypt, Iran, Canada, Malaysia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Last year, Poland and international inventors presented over 400 inventions. These solutions outlined technological developments, some of which are already in practical use. Every year, the International Warsaw Invention Show is accompanied by lectures and seminars on intellectual property and patent awards. The exhibition will showcase solutions from Polish research institutions, technological universities, innovative companies, and individual inventors. Financial institutions interested in investing in innovative products and technologies are invited to participate in the exhibition. Inventors who decide to exhibit showcase their achievements in 12 categories, ranging from engineering, architecture, electronics, textiles, and the chemical industry to ecological and environmental protection in the industry and innovative medical solutions.

Award Classification: Gold Award (35 pieces), Silver Award (25 pieces), Bronze Award (8 pieces)
Description of Award-Winning Work: As the elderly age, severe bending and hunchback become common, with muscles and ligaments becoming lax being a significant factor. Aging leads to a decline in muscle strength and elasticity, lacking the robust "grip" of muscles and ligaments. The spine continuously bends forward, ultimately exacerbating the formation of a hunchback. This invention replaces the handrails of the original seesaw with fitness-effectiveness rings. By using the rings, the general public and the elderly can use them in parks to both enjoy the fun of play and enhance the strength of the back muscles. Through pressure-sensitive lights, the colors sensed are displayed on the pillar, adding an element of competition and increasing training frequency.
Creative Concept: In response to the aging trend in Taiwanese society, the goal is to reduce the difficulty of exercise for the elderly, making them willing to enhance their muscle strength. This allows the elderly to move freely. The choice of a rocking board facility is intended to provide free fitness and recreational equipment for local elderly people in beautiful parks. The rocking board is selected to provide enjoyment for grandparents and grandchildren alike.
